Getting funding approval for assistive technology through the NDIS is a vital step for many participants, but the process can feel daunting. From understanding the requirements to creating detailed justifications, navigating the system can be complex for participants, carers, and support coordinators.
At LowCost AT, we’ve simplified this process. Every product in our catalogue comes with a pre-written NDIS justification, ensuring you have the right documentation to support your application for funding approval. By taking the guesswork out of the process, we help you save time, reduce stress, and access the tools you need more quickly.
What Are Product Justifications?
An NDIS product justification explains why a specific item is considered reasonable and necessary under your NDIS plan. This justification provides a clear rationale for why the product supports your goals and improves your daily life.
Here’s what a typical product justification includes:
1. Why the Product is “Reasonable and Necessary”
The NDIS requires that all funded supports meet the criteria of being reasonable and necessary. For example, a rugged tablet might be deemed reasonable if it supports telehealth appointments for non-verbal communication or remote therapy sessions.
2. How the Product Improves Independence, Mobility, or Daily Living
Justifications highlight the specific ways a product enhances the participant’s life. A mobility walker, for instance, may improve movement and confidence, reducing reliance on carers.
3. How the Product Aligns with Your NDIS Goals and Support Plan
Each justification ties the product to the participant’s specific NDIS goals. For example, if your goal is to improve independence at home, an adaptive eating tool might align perfectly by enabling you to eat meals without assistance.
Example:
If you’re purchasing a rugged tablet, the justification might state:
- Reasonable and Necessary: Supports telehealth for remote therapy sessions.
- Improves Daily Living: Enables non-verbal communication via AAC apps.
- Aligns with Goals: Helps achieve communication and therapy-related objectives in your NDIS plan.
Why Product Justifications Matter
The importance of well-crafted product justifications cannot be overstated. Here’s why they’re essential:
1. Saves Time
Crafting a justification from scratch can be time-consuming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the NDIS framework. With our pre-written justifications, you don’t need to start from zero—we’ve done the work for you.
2. NDIS Compliance
Our justifications are designed to meet NDIS requirements for funding. They align with the key criteria of reasonableness, necessity, and value for money, making it easier for plan managers or the NDIA to approve your application.
3. Faster Approvals
Clear, professionally crafted justifications reduce back-and-forth communication with plan managers, speeding up the approval process and ensuring you get the tools you need sooner.
